Saving Thanehaven

Catherine Jinks

Noble is a knight who fights monsters with help from his magical sword, Smite. Together they fight their way through vicious lands, defeating evil guys and hoping to rescue a princess. By chance they meet Rufus, a skinny kid who questions Noble's motives: "I'm a freedom lover, power to the people and all that stuff." Rufus doesn't play by the usual rules, he negotiates instead of fighting. Noble joins Rufus in a quest to change his computer world. This action-packed fantasy tale is filled with fun, spirited characters and unpredictable events. From the award-winning Australian author of Evil Genius (2007) and Paradise Trap (2012) Ages 9-12
